How it works
One key. Catalog to collection.
- 01
Define catalog
Plans, prices, meters as API objects your product owns.
- 02
Subscribe
Attach a customer. Trials and proration included.
- 03
Collect
Invoices settle on Vortex Payments — same money path.
Who buys this
Recurring revenue without a second payments stack.
For teams that already think in subscriptions and usage.
Founders
Ship pricing experiments without wiring a separate billing vendor to a separate processor.
Developers
Subscriptions, meters, invoices as API objects. Usage events that actually land on the invoice.
Engineering managers
One integration surface for charge + subscribe. Fewer vendors. Cleaner ownership.
Business & ops
Invoices draft, finalize, collect. Dunning when cards fail. Tax can ride with the charge.
Why Billing
Revenue that settles where payments settle.
Billing that shares the Vortex money path — not a parallel system.
Same key as Payments
No dual onboarding. Catalog and collection live next to charges and settlements.
Meters that matter
Usage events feed invoices. Metered products stop being a spreadsheet job.
Dunning included
Failed collections retry. Ops gets a path — not a silent miss.
Tax-ready invoices
Quote tax with the charge when you need it. Liability boundary stays explicit.
Use cases
Where Billing fits.
SaaS seats & plans
Monthly and annual plans, trials, proration when customers change tiers.
Usage-based products
API calls, seats overage, compute — meter events into the invoice line.
Hybrid pricing
Base subscription + usage. One invoice. One settlement path.
Platforms billing end customers
Your product bills customers; Vortex Payments settles under your brand.
Straight talk
Billing is beta on Payments.
Same honesty contract as the rest of Vortex.
- Same API key as Payments.
- Subscriptions, meters, invoices — not a full ERP.
- Dunning retries on failed collection.
